Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

S5 E56 Martha: The Ghost in Room 209Oct 10, 2025

A coastal ghost story that works best as local history with a chill.

Cold Case Canada's Halloween special stays at the Wigwam Inn on Indian Arm, where room 209 is linked to Martha and to stories of odd noises, moved objects, and a child who wanted out badly enough to leave.

S5 E55 The Mission SkullJun 27, 2025

A grim Canadian cold case, told with restraint and a clear sense of purpose.

A partial skull found in a Mission slough sends this episode into a grim Canadian cold case, one that moves from forgotten remains to the Robert Pickton investigation and then to the chance that forensic genetic genealogy could finally return Jane Doe's name.

S5 E54 The Blonde EmbezzlerJun 13, 2025

A low-key fraud case that becomes a sharp portrait of procedure, greed, and an unresolved aftermath.

Eve Lazarus takes a British Columbia bank-fraud case and treats it with patience, letting Anne Spiller come into focus as more than a headline figure.

S5 E53 The London Cellar MurderMay 30, 2025

A shipboard pursuit built on disguise, suspicion, and later maritime tragedy.

Cold Case Canada turns the story into a maritime manhunt, tracking Captain Henry Kendall as he spots Dr. Crippen and Ethel Lenevy aboard the SS Montrose and keeps pressing his suspicions with steady patience.

S5 E52 Andrea Lynn KingMay 16, 2025

A careful, human account of a promising young traveller whose case remains unsolved.

Andrea King's case is framed around an ordinary promise that never got to play out: an honours graduate with a job, a trip east, and summer plans.

S5 E51 Boys in the WoodsApr 30, 2025

A measured cold-case account that treats overlooked leads and witness accounts as the core of the story.

Cold Case Canada follows the disappearance and murder of Ramsey Dean Reox and Kenneth Arthur Lutz, two 13-year-old Indigenous boys from North Burnaby, with a careful, steady approach.

S5 E50 Girl in the FieldApr 16, 2025

A 1945 Saanich disappearance is revisited through conflicting accounts and questions that still resist closure.

A rarely used shortcut through a Saanich field becomes the point where Dorothy "Dot" Sanders's disappearance turns from a missing-person question into something more troubling.

S5 E49 Murder at Swan LakeApr 2, 2025

A careful 1943 murder review finds a weak case, delayed evidence, and a victim's story still unsettled.

Cold Case Canada revisits the 1943 murder of 15-year-old Molly Justice with a steady eye on how the case narrowed around Mitchell while leaving harder questions in place.
